Whatsoever, I'm closing this, as we already have a thread about the very same topic. Sorry.

Or wait till update 6 when it'll be fixed/they'll be adding more to engines?

From the developer who brought you both engines and the nerf on them:

Truly sorry for actually considering roleplay in development of a roleplay mod.

That said, the solution is simple: This being a roleplay environment, or at least supposedly-roleplay environment (Hi Daedric), anything is possible with the right roleplay behind it. The youth of Sirius find Gallic engines aesthetically pleasing but can't get them to work properly on their Sirian ships due to their entirely different design and engineering in addition to the fuel it requires which happens to be non-existent in Sirius? I'm sure there's a greedy private ship manufacturer out there who's willing to take standard Sirian engines, apply visual modifications to them so they look close enough to Gallic engines, then make an awful lot of profit by selling them to those same kids who so foolishly think are buying actual Gallic engines with daddy's money. The marvelous engineers of Sirius have even managed to adapt Nomad technology, so some Gallic-looking exhaust pipes would be a piece of cake, no?

How come people have the time and patience to write dozens after dozens of paragraphs about how awful decisions of devs and admins are ruining their fun, but no one seems to have the time to actually do a brief roleplay like the above (Which is not so good, I must add. Things I come up with in less than a minute are generally like that) and then demand Gallic engines on Sirian ships from developers, nor anyone seems to have the patience to wait for update 6 to see all this fuss was really for nothing.

What people seem to be forgetting, is that even though we're now running a stable beta of 4.87, we're still running a beta, and not the final release. That means changes are aplenty and not always pleasant, and each and every feature is implemented as soon as possible to make sure it gets as much testing time as possible before the final release, and that basically means things like FLHook plugins which can be implemented server-side get implemented right away, and everything else make it in with the updates we've been releasing. Sure, sometimes the two can't be timed properly and we get situations such as this which are only temporary, but in the long run, having a few bad timings here and there is better than spending 4 more months in beta period before finally getting everything cleaned up and ready for the final release.

Or is patience lost to people nowadays, or do they think we're in a final release of .87, and not in Beta?

I mean sure, they could just have their own server to test/implement things, take longer since it's a small group of devs(Working for free mind you, and on their free time) to figure out any/every possible bug or what works. Or, they could tell the community "hey, this is beta, and we want you all to be in a sense testers to see what works, what doesn't, and we'll see."

Oh well.
